Activision are still picking up the pieces from their Guitar Hero 3 FUBAR with the sound on that particular edition of the game, but replacements discs should start moving within only a few weeks.

In an email from the publisher they state “We expect to have the replacement discs available in February.” Some may say a fairly hefty wait given the game released with the problem at the end of October.

For those that may have missed this news, the Wii edition of Guitar Hero 3  had sound that was mono. You might not think that was such a big deal, but the Wii version was the only version affected and for a game that has it’s whole play mechanic based on sound, it was seen as a major error by the company and some gamers quickly rallied against it.

If you are one of those affected and have not as yet registered for the replacement disc, you can do so by visiting Activision Game Exchange.
